Birthdays, clubs and hens
Party wristbands
Party wristbands are the bands door staff put on so they can see who has paid, who is over 18, or who is on the guest list. In Australia that is tyvek: a lightweight strip that wraps, sticks, and tears if someone tries to pass it on. We print them in Melbourne in 19mm and 25mm. Order plain, black print or full colour, or ask us for a quote with a guest count.

In short
- Party wristbands in Australia are tyvek. People also call them paper. Same product.
- Use colours for the door split: paid, guest list, over 18. Add a logo if the band should look like the party.
- We make 19mm and 25mm. Printed in Melbourne. Express to Sydney, Brisbane and nationwide.
- A camping weekend wants woven. A keepable loop wants silicone or vinyl. Price is on the product, or we can quote the order.
What party wristbands are
The job is tonight's door. Staff wrap a band as people arrive. The colour tells them who is in. If a guest tries to hand theirs to a friend outside, the sticky join rips. That is why venues, birthdays, hens and club nights use tyvek rather than a stamp that washes off.
If you typed paper party wristbands, paper wristbands is the same buying job. Office paper soaks through. Tyvek looks like paper and lasts the night.
Colours, widths and print
Pick the door code first. Add print only if the band also has to look like the party.
| Plain colour | Black print | Full colour | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A solid colour, no artwork | A logo or line of text in one colour | Logos, gradients and brand colours |
| A good fit for | Age splits and guest-list colours | A simple party name or sponsor mark | A hen, birthday or brand night people will photograph |
| Widths | 19mm | 19mm and 25mm | 19mm and 25mm |
When they are the wrong tool
Party wristbands are a one-night door ticket. If guests camp, shower and come back through the gate for three days, that is festival wristbands on woven fabric.
If people should still be wearing the band next week, use a keepable: vinyl slap bands or silicone. Those come off and go back on. They are not a tear-off door ticket.
Need a tougher locked door than tyvek? Plastic clip is the same job with a clip. Crew IDs around the neck are staff lanyards, not another party colour mixed in with the crowd.
